Though it’s not clear when Polanco made the videos, parents said many students at JHS 80 have seen “El Metele” and kids sometimes chant “El Siki” when Polanco walks down the halls.

Polanco, who earns $127,115 and has worked in the public schools since 2003, did not respond to requests for comment. He discussed his musical ambitions in an undated video on the website CalienteHitzMix.com.

“We doin’ it up and we doin’ it hard and we gonna take over,” Polanco says in the interview. “I’m here to step it up a notch.”

Oh, is that what you’re here to do? Not inspire and lead the kids, right? SMMFH
